Aggregation Question

  Hi

 

I’ve previously raised a question in regard to a data set I’m using see (https://community.qlik.com/message/829750?et=watches.email.thread#829750)

 

I ’m now looking at different problem which is to calculate the amount of debt per customer for the most recent aged debt week - I’ve being using set analysis to identify the latest week

My issue is that the Customer can exist at one of 3 hierarchies with accounts attached to each level.

The simplest way to explain this is by example:

Group = Level 1

Corp = Level 2

  Account = Level 3

 

Group A has Corp AA, AB & AC and AA, AB, AC each have many accounts and what I need to achieve is the total amount for Group A which in this case is £171,929

However there are also two other scenarios to cater for 1) where there is a Corp but not Group and 2) where there are just accounts – this could be multiple accounts in the same customer name or single accounts however the aggregation would be at “Customer Name” level.

 

So using descriptive terms I want, for the most recent aged debt date, to sum all accounts for a unique group if a group exists, if no group exists then sum all accounts for a unique Corp and if no group or corp exists then sum all accounts for each “customer name”.

I’m a pretty basic user and self taught so far so any help much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kevin
